The garden will be loving all of this beautiful rain - time to sow our new seedlings in the rain-softened soil when the sun comes out. We did a great three hundred session this morning and I felt like eating lots of fruit this morning so I did just that and then had some soaked quinoa sweetened with raw honey before heading into town for the morning! I discovered quinoa a few years ago and it is superb - a highly nutritious grain from the Andes - packed with 'complete' protein (ideal for vegos/vegans), vitamins and minerals. The greens in our garden are loving the wet and I had a huge salad for lunch with freshly picked rocket, a little radish I noticed poking out, radish seeds (I sprouted myself), asparagus, tomatoes, avocado and salmon with lemon and olive oil. After lunch it was time to draw forth the domestic goddess within (I knew she was in there somewhere) and I spent two hours hard at it to some tunes - great little cardio session! My reward was a delicious frozen smoothie made from carob,banana,strawberries, chia seeds, coconut juice & pulp - totally yumalicious and doesn't leave you feeling heavy like after a dairy based smoothie - I am hooked! I've completely lost all desire for milk and have loved discovering alternatives. I am so thankful I have taken a departure from the known! I'll leave you this evening with this great little summary I found on alkalining super foods - I am off to get some zzzz's and dream of what else I might discover tomorrow!
